It’s great to generate good news about our clients!  An outstanding event celebrating pioneering Jewish families was created and launched by the Jewish Federation of Broward County.  It was a ‘mitzvah’ to see great media coverage in the Jewish Journal, describing the event, with great photos and quotes.

When there’s a story worth telling, there’s usually someone who will tell it.    This event was a labor of love for the Federation and the families that have made South Florida their home for more than 50 years.   The Jewish Journal did it justice, providing insight and a understanding of what it was like to be Jewish in South Florida those many years ago.

We’re proud of our clients and the good work they do.  We’re proud to reach out to the media with these stories.

More than 100 children will celebrate the Miracle of Hanukkah at the JAFCO (Jewish Adoption and Foster Care Options) Village on December 6, 2010. They even get to climb up mountains of snow and throw snowballs.

Julie and Howard Talenfeld always look forward to the holiday season and all the joy it brings.  But they recognize that not everyone is fortunate to experience holiday cheer – or even basic necessities like food, shelter and clothing.  For the fifth consecutive year, the couple will sponsor JAFCO’s Hanukkah party – so the dozens of foster children who live in the residences at the Sunrise Village and out in the community get to celebrate the holiday and enjoy its many traditions.

“When I think of the miracle of Hanukkah I believe an even greater miracle occurs when JAFCO’s wonderful staff and supporters do their part to make a big difference in these children’s lives,” said Julie Talenfeld, President of Boardroom Communications, a PR agency in Plantation.

“As a young child, Hanukkah was my favorite part of the winter holiday season. My family always had a huge party every year with all of our relatives and friends, and today my husband Howard and I continue this tradition in our own home for our children, family and friends to enjoy.”

The annual party for the children and families of JAFCO will be held on December 6 and will feature dreidels, traditional jelly doughnuts and even snow.

Join us on December 10, 2010 and enjoy great wine for a great cause. Guests can enter to win a bejeweled Lexus IS featuring a $12,500 diamond necklace. Click on the image below for more information.
